Patrick McGrath dialogues with Mario Fortunato about his book, Trauma, especially delving into its themes: psychiatry, madness, love, sex, and passion. Then, the conversation moves to the author: what drives them to write? When is the best moment of the day to write? Does the author always identify with his characters? How is a character born? As part of the Ratti Lecture series, the conference becomes a profound and witty exploration of the human psyche of the characters and their creator, himself.
